Our strategic themes

Enabling Research and Teaching, as well as our Operations

Our procurement activities play a critical role in supporting the University’s core purpose of advancing our research and teaching activities. The way we procure has a direct impact on academic research, the student experience, and the operational excellence of the institution. By aligning our sourcing strategy with the evolving needs of our academic and student communities, we enable the pursuit of groundbreaking discoveries and transformative learning experiences.

Minimising our impact on the Environment

We recognise the profound impact our purchasing decisions have on the environment. Whether it’s the goods we buy, the logistics and transportation involved, the packaging materials, the waste we dispose of or the sourcing of raw materials – every step in our supply chain affects the physical world we live in.

Delivering positive change for our Communities

Aligned with the University’s Community Plan, we are committed to leveraging our procurement activities as a force for positive change. Every procurement decision offers a unique opportunity to generate economic and social benefits for our communities.
